Seed and Plant Sanctuary for Canada
A percentage of the proceeds from the following seeds will be donated to the Seed and Plant Sanctuary so that our Internet website www.seedsanctuary.com can be maintained and updated. We are now operating our first Sanctuary Seedhouse, which contains a vast collection of heirloom seeds. Our next fundraising project is to establish new satellite Sanctuary Gardens on Salt Spring Island. Any donations towards this end would be gratefully appreciated. We are a charitable, non-profit society, registered as The Salt Spring Sanctuary Society and can issue a receipt for income tax purposes.
We are currently offering 10 varieties of Seed and Plant Sanctuary for Canada.
